I took my boat out for the first time in a while over the weekend. It started right up and ran fine although was a little sluggish/choppy early on. I was thinking probably some less than fresh gas I'm burning through. After a while though I noticed the red light on the basic warning system came on. It was the oil can looking picture that was lit.
I stopped the boat and waited a moment. Restarted and there was no light. It would go without the light for a while and then every so often it would reappear.
There is plenty of oil in the oil tanks - it is a 2 stroke EFI. I later took off the top cover and the oil tank side mounted to the motor was totally full as well.
I could probably use a regular service since it has not had one recently as well. I am fairly handy and like to do many things myself but I've done any engine maintenance on this boat yet so it would all be new to me.
Any ideas?
thanks!
